 I have to admit, few of our missions in space have captured my attention the way the Mars missions have.  When I was a kid, I remember reading about the Viking mission in National Geographic.  The pictures of a desolate rust-colored planet with the possibility of microbial life sparked my imagination and captured my interest for years to come.  It’s no surprise then my interest in the Mars Exploration Rover mission is so strong.  Nasa, Lockheed Martin and Disney have put together a 40 minute IMAX documentary that was released this month in time for the 2nd (earth) year anniversary of the mission.  Having just seen it today, I would recommend this film to anyone with an interest in space science.  While searching for more information on the history of our exploration of Mars, I came across a great resource on WikiPedia with information on Mars missions from around the world.

Good speech, if only it wasn’t full of lies.

While I applaud the improvement George W. Bush has made in his public speaking skills, he still doesn’t get it. The administration thinks a good strong speach will make everyone forget the lies and misdeeds of the past. I hope for our sake we aren’t that stupid.
